    excessive corrosion?

    I don't know much about them, been in business for a long time, the 220 I have is heavy and I relate it to a CC 210 I had previously. The CC was more agile the searay is a Cadillac in comparison..

    excessive corrosion?

    Process of elimination is the only way I know of. I'd probably start with the solar panels If the diode fails they can leak battery power during dark hours.

    Fiberglass not bonded to plywood

    Your at a place where your probably better off gutting the boat rather than trying to piece it back. Even if most of the decking is just wet but not rotted the stringers under the deck are. A total resto can be easier than repairs.

    If the battery is disconnected/switched off then the v check is moot, My bad

    excessive corrosion?

    I think the voltage check was to rule out stray current generated by the boat. In any case the anode doesn't appear to have lost much.

    You are right, the only thing I found hard was the availability of a cherry picker tall enough, I had to take the wheels off the trailer.

    Deadman Switch?

    I have never used the telephone cord tied to my wrist, if I were in a race boat I would. The safety on the anchor is in my opinion a necessity.
